The Power of Open Educational Resources
The document discusses the power of open educational resources (OER). It defines OER as educational materials that are freely accessible and allow users perpetual permissions to retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute the resources. The document outlines how OER can improve affordability for students, increase student success rates, invigorate teaching practices, and be adopted at a large scale. Research studies are presented that show positive impacts of OER adoption including improved course completion rates, higher grades, and increased subsequent course enrollment. The potential for entire OER-based degree programs is also discussed.
